How to use it
- Drop in your portrait and pick the document (US passport 2×2 in by default).
- Check the crop on the preview and adjust with the sliders if needed.
- Pick the paper: 4×6 in or 5×7 in photo paper, US Letter or A4.
- Download the sheet as a PDF (exact size) or JPG and print it at 100%.
How many photos fit on a sheet?
| Paper | 2×2 in (51×51 mm) | 35×45 mm |
|---|---|---|
| 4×6 in (10×15 cm) | 6 | 8 |
| 5×7 in (13×18 cm) | 6 | 10 |
| US Letter | 15 | 28 |
| A4 | 15 | 32 |
The tool tries portrait and landscape layouts, with and without gaps, and picks the one with the most copies. Photo paper uses the whole sheet; Letter and A4 keep an 8 mm margin, because office printers can't print to the edge.
PDF or JPG?
Use the PDF for a home printer. Its page size is exact to the millimetre, so at actual size a 2×2 in photo really prints at 2×2 in. The JPG is 300 DPI. Use it at a photo kiosk, a print shop or an online photo lab, and order a standard 4×6 print at original size with no cropping.
The 50 mm check scale
When there's room, a 50 mm scale with millimetre ticks goes under the photos. Hold a ruler against it after printing. If it isn't exactly 50 mm, the printer resized the page: turn off fit to page, borderless printing and similar options. The 6-copy 2×2 in layout on 4×6 has no room for the scale, so measure between the crop marks instead (50.8 mm).
Printing tips
- Print on photo paper at the best quality setting. For a US passport the rules ask for matte or glossy photo-quality paper, with no digital changes to your face.
- Cut along the crop marks with a paper trimmer or a sharp craft knife. Scissors slip easily.
- If you only need a digital file, for example for an online visa application, use Download digital photo instead of the sheet.
- For a UK passport there's no print sheet: UK rules don't accept a paper photo cut down from a larger print.
We can't guarantee acceptance. The issuing authority always makes the final decision and rules can change: check the official page linked at the bottom before you apply.
Frequently asked questions
Will the size be exact if I print at home?
Yes, if you print the PDF at actual size (100%). Check it with the 50 mm scale at the bottom of the sheet.
Which documents does it work for?
US passport and visa (2×2 in), Schengen visa and other 35×45 mm photos. The document picker shows the exact rules and their sources.
Do you upload my photo?
No. Cropping and building the sheet both run in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded: the face detector (about 17 MB the first time) downloads into your browser and runs on your device.
Will my printed photo be accepted?
The authority decides, and we can't guarantee it. We set the size and proportions to the official rules.
